Chapter 150: A Special Thing on Your Body
She couldn't understand the meaning of the look on the old man's face! Although he seems to be kind, but in this environment, with strange abilities, who can guarantee that what appears to be what is actually what is? Isn't it their best disguise?
Hearing her question, the old patriarch couldn't help laughing, then shook his head and said:
"Too much to worry about! Since I said that the Momo people treat each other with courtesy, then they must treat each other with courtesy. The Momos never tell lies, and those who lie will be punished by the gods! ”
Saying this, Joji was also a little embarrassed. So he quickly nodded and replied to him:
"What you just said seems to be true. But I don't know much about what it doesn't fall or not, but I feel as if a wind is pouring into my heart, and I only hit it once, and it's gone immediately. Then the big brother on the other side shook a few times, and then fell to the ground! ”
She described the situation in her own language, and the patriarch was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then asked, "What special thing did the girl have on her?" ”
Chodika thought for a moment, shook his head and said:
"Nope! Just an ordinary necklace, I don't have the habit of carrying those things, I ...... Yikes! She was stunned for a moment,
Then he hesitated a little, and after a long time, he said suspiciously: "There is a pear blossom brand in my heart, but what does that brand have to do with lowering my head?" ”
When she said this, her eyes were always on the patriarch. But she didn't notice that as soon as Yu Wenxi, who was standing beside her, heard this, she suddenly twisted her eyebrows, as if she had thought of something, and turned her head to look at her. But it was soon back to normal, and no one saw that he had been strange for a moment.
The old patriarch also looked at Chojica with a somewhat puzzled gaze, and his fingers moved slightly, as if he had made some small movements.
Yu Wenxi's eyes were sharp, and he asked:
"Patriarch, what are you doing?"
His meaning is obvious, he is afraid that this person will do something to Chojka! This kind of magic is hard to guard against, and now that they are in other people's territory, they always have to be extremely careful!
When the man heard him ask, he quickly waved his hand and said:
"I'm just helping myself remember something, not for you, don't worry!" After saying this, he didn't greet him here, but leaned over to the side, and then made a gesture of please, and said to them: "A few distinguished guests, please!" Welcome to the Momos! ”
At this point, the three of them finally set foot on the land where the mysterious Momo tribe is now located.
After entering, I found that there was a large oasis in the place where this tribe was located! I don't know how to find this place, the oasis is a pool of green, but the water is abundant, and there is no sign of drying up at all.
Many people in the tribe carry buckets of water to this side to drink, no wonder they can live in this place for more than 400 years, and sure enough, where there is water, there is life, this is not bad at all!
The old patriarch invited them into a wooden house! No one knows where they got the timber to build the house, and they also knot the large stones with the wood to strengthen the house. Of course, these are not the main things, 400 years is not a short time, maybe someone will go out in the middle and bring in the wood from outside, which is also quite simple.
And for the three of them, the most important thing was to watch the three bowls of hot tea brought by the Momo people after they sat down!
It was Ximenmei who was the first to find out about the situation, she drank it and was the first to bring the tea. I was ready to say why not order herbal tea, such a hot day! But before the words could be spoken, I found that I had been careful to serve the tea bowl, but it was clear that the steaming tea was inside, but the tea bowl was cold, and there was no temperature at all!
She strangely told Yu Wenxi and Jodica about this discovery, and she heard Jodika's "ah", and then closed her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about something. In less than five seconds, he opened his eyes again, and then said to the old patriarch sitting opposite:
"Didn't you say you'd be courteous? But how can you treat each other with your head down? If I'm not mistaken, when the steaming bowl of water is still cold, it's the bowl of water that has been lowered by the head, right? ”
When she asked like this, Yu Wenxi also cast a questioning gaze to the patriarch. It's clear that they're asking the same question.
The patriarch smiled, shook his head again and again, and said:
"Don't get me wrong! This water is given a lower head, but it is good, not harmful! The place where our Momo tribe lives, because the whole clan has been practicing the descending technique for hundreds of years, so the surrounding area, whether in terms of air or water source, will be more or less affected by the head-lowering technique. You're from outside, and if you don't handle this water, you're afraid you won't get used to drinking it. As he spoke, he took the initiative to pick up the tea bowl in front of him, took a big gulp, and then said, "Drink!" It's okay! If you worry too much, I'm afraid that you can't even breathe here! Hehe! ”
He smiled helplessly, until the three people on the other side were a little embarrassed.
Come to think of it, people have a point. This is a place full of strange arts. If you don't put your heart down and believe in others, you won't survive!
When I thought about it like this, I no longer felt anything, so I simply picked up the tea and drank it, until I quenched my thirst.
During this period, Yu Wenxi told the patriarch what happened. Finally, he expressed his desire for the other party to help.
This is a negotiation that is not easy to find a breakthrough point, because when you talk to others, the other party may try something. But when it comes to such isolated tribesmen, they really don't feel that there is anything on their side that they can covet!
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the patriarch shook his head again and again, and said:
"No, no, no! The cure for that disease is a sacred relic of our clan, and if it is given to him, we Momo will be in danger! ”
The three of them asked at the same time:
"Is it medicine?"
The patriarch thought for a moment, nodded, and said:
"It's okay to say it's medicine, but to be precise, it's a fruit. It was indeed wrapped in a golden cover, and it was collected by my Momo people for hundreds of years. As soon as you speak of the disease, I know that it is a god who presides over sleep and dwells in that man's body, and asks the holy things of my people to draw the spirit out of it, and then offer it to eat it. ”
Several people heard it in a fog, they didn't believe it, but Chodica had a question in his heart. She felt that in fact, if the old patriarch's statement was thought about from another angle, it could be explained clearly by a scientific reason. As the king of Eswatini said, there is a germ infected by the night! And then add the patriarch's words, you can use a special thing to attract that germ out of his body! When you think about it this way, it's easy to understand.
But people don't agree! Because it was sacred, if it was given to any god to eat, the Momo would be in danger.
For a moment, the room was extremely quiet. The people on both sides looked at each other, not knowing how to continue with the following words.
It's as if things are stuck here, and you can't advance or retreat. However, Yu Wenxi always felt that there was actually a turnaround, and whether the holy relics could be given or not was not as absolute as the patriarch said!
For example...... For example, his seemingly calm face was glancing at Chodika's from time to time. Just after Jodika said that there was a pear blossom imprint on her heart, the patriarch seemed to have a trace of doubt.
He didn't know what that doubt was, but he had a feeling that he could make some fuss about the matter of Baili Night.
As soon as he thought of this, Yu Wenxi didn't wait any longer, and said directly:
"Or, if there is anything we can do to help the Momos, the patriarch might as well talk about it. If we can't do it, we can't do it frankly, and if we can, I hope to use this favor to get back my friend's health! ”
The words are very straightforward, which means that it is still possible for the two sides to talk again, and you Momo tribe are not completely out of need of help!
As soon as he said this, the patriarch nodded directly, as if he was waiting for him to say this, and immediately said-
"There's a problem that needs help you solve! If you can agree, I will use the sacred relics of the clan to save that man!" ”
As soon as he said this, several Momo people who were accompanying him were shocked, and then straightened up, which was very solemn.
A few people realized that this busyness is not easy to do!
"Let's talk about it!" Chojka opened his mouth and said lightly: "I actually want to say that in order to save my husband, I can agree to any conditions." But if it's to help, I can't say I can help! ”
No, the patriarch actually stared at her, and then said:
"As long as the girl has a heart, she will definitely be able to help!" After speaking, he took a sip of the hot tea in front of him, then took a deep breath, and said faintly as if he had made a great determination: "In fact, the holy relics of my clan are not the current ones, the real holy relics were stolen one hundred and twenty years ago!" It was a betrayer of the clan who not only ran away himself, but also stole the holy relics. We've sent a lot of people out to investigate, but we haven't been able to find out! ”
After telling this story, the three of them realized that the Momo tribe wanted to ask them to help find the things back.
It is said that it is not difficult to find something, but it is difficult to find it, and the other party has no idea where the whereabouts of that thing are. And they themselves have been searching for a hundred years, and they are still empty-handed.
This makes them a little difficult, these things that talented people can't find yet, why can they find them?
She expressed this thought, and Simon Mei nodded and said:
"Patriarch, the terms of your exchange are inevitably too harsh. To exchange a holy relic for a holy relic, or something that has not been found in more than a hundred years, where do we go to find it? ”
After saying this, I thought that the old patriarch would propose to let them give up. Unexpectedly, the other party actually looked at Chojka, and then said:
"As long as you have a heart, you will definitely find it!"
Chojka frowned, as if she could see that the patriarch's words were addressed to her, and she was about to ask a few questions, but she heard Yu Wenxi speak first:
"If the patriarch has something to say, please speak up! This woman is my sister, and if it has anything to do with her, I don't want you to hide it! ”
After saying that, he took the initiative to shake Chodika's hand and turned his head to look at her. In an instant, Chojica read another message from this man's eyes. It was as if he was conveying something to her, different from before, a little eager, and a little sad.
